Plot

The film is a science fiction mockumentary set in an alternate timeline several decades after a near-Earth object almost hit Earth in 1952, making it possible for women to reproduce by parthenogenesis without men. Men are no longer born, and they have disappeared from all important positions. The male sex has become a dying breed. The remaining men are kept on a reserve and are no longer part of society, with the exception of a few men who are allowed to do menial work. In this world women are wearing the pants, are asexual, and have no male offspring anymore. It is now up to the quiet and modest household helper Andrew Myers to ensure that the male gender does not go extinct. The 37-year-old is the youngest living man on Earth and works for a family made up entirely of women.
